Fickell served as Ohio State’s coach for the 2011 season — after Jim Tressel was fired and before Urban Meyer was hired. Schiano was the head man at Rutgers from 2001-2011.

Beck is in his second year as Ohio State’s QB coach. He spent four years at Nebraska in the same role prior. Warriner joined Meyer’s staff in 2012 and has worked his way up from offensive line coach to offensive coordinator.

If any Michigan assistants get involved, Jedd Fisch is the name to remember. He’s in his second year as Michigan’s QB coach after spending two seasons as the Jaguars offensive coordinator. Defensive coordinator Don Brown, 61, has helped build a dominant unit in his first season.

Brown replaced D.J. Durkin, who took the Maryland job after last season. Ohio State defensive coordinator Chris Ash took the Rutgers at the same time, so this is certainly a trend to keep an eye on.
